Unmanned tiltrotor is scheduled to launch in a series in 2018 year
By the fourth quarter of 2017, the VRT30 tiltrotor will enter the second phase of testing, during which it will be tested in various flight modes, weather conditions and with targeted payload elements. Approximate exit drone mass production is scheduled for the end of 2018, the release says.
An experimental model of a UAV will be presented at the MAKS-2017 aerospace show.
According to the project, the drone will have a takeoff weight of up to 2-s tons. It is noted that "the advantage of the aircraft, made according to the tilt-turn plan, is that their operation does not require the presence of a runway", in addition, "thanks to the turning mechanism of the screws, the tilt-turn can both develop high speed and perform tasks in the hover mode ".
